Sanofi sells out of 2007 flu vaccine

Last week, Sanofi-Pasteur sold out of flu vaccine for next year's flu season within a matter of hours. The company began accepting orders on Tuesday and was quickly overwhelmed by a deluge of calls. A Sanofi spokesman said the company received 40,000 calls in the first 30 minutes after its lines opened. The company plans to produce 50 million doses of its seasonal flu vaccine next year and expects to double production capacity by 2008.
